Gary David McNeely (Dave), formerly of Ravenswood, departed this earthly life on September 22, 2025 after battling an extended illness. Dave was a history buff and enjoyed hunting, fishing, and watching football. He was a die hard Florida State Seminoles and Minnesota Vikings fan. Before his illness, Dave could often be found at the riverfront park talking to friends under the picnic shelters.

Dave was preceded in death by his mother, Deborah June McNeely, and by his father, Gary Lee McNeely.

He is survived by his son, Josh (Stephanie) of Ravenswood; grandchildren, Landon (Mia), Jackson, and Evelyn all of Ravenswood; sisters Tammy (Fred) Barnes of Raleigh, NC and Debbie (Mike) Epling of Madison, WV; nieces Ashley Epling and Brittney Jarred; nephews Anthony Yocum and Zachary Carter. He also leaves behind some lifelong friends that he considered family. Tim and Jeff Elkins were his "brothers" and he thought very highly of them and their entire family.

He is also survived by his ex-wife, Karen McNeely. Even after their separation, they remained friends and would spend time together with their grandkids. She would go and help him with things that he was unable to do and spent many hours with him towards the end.

In respect to his wishes, there will be no service, as his wish was to be cremated. The family would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers in our time of loss.
